Football Queensland Wide Bay's Peter Guest was shocked by the Pride's omission from the NPL's inaugural season, and Pride general manager Pat Boyle immediately began its appeals process.

In a release published late Thursday, representatives from Football Queensland, Western Pride and Ipswich City Council met to consider new information.

Ipswich City Council's revelation of a multi-million dollar sports facilities development at Springfield Central, as well as the Pride's existing Briggs Rd headquarters, has potential to make a "long-lasting impact on women's football".

The statement says FQ was able to "substantiate the validity of the project and has agreed to work collaboratively with Western Pride to further consider the application".

"While I stand by the decision made by the selection panel, we are always willing to listen to our clubs, particularly given the significance of this new development," Foster said.

"The information that came to light is substantial and therefore worthy of special consideration.

"The information could not be made public until Ipswich City Council had finalised the scope, designs and costs with developers and contractors, and therefore could not be included in the PS4 NPL Women's Queensland application."
